Figured out my problem!

[armyofskittles]

So after weeks and weeks I finally figured it out. All the bad taste I've been having with my RM2 has been the atty. Today when I was putting my 7384582nd coil on and dry firing after completely cleaning everything, I noticed a smell. A smelly smell. The smell of doom that I've been tasting. Something is wrong with the atty. No ifs ands or buts. I fire it, and it smells like burning. Even dry. Completely clean. Guess I'll be buy I g a new one unless someone has a clue how to fix it. I completely tore apart the atty and cleaned everything. Put it back to perfection. Still terrible. Suggestions? Sorry about the rant.

The next time its apart please post some pics. Maybe the insulator is burnt on the 510. Could also be the oil on the wire.

The inside is clean. The insulator may have turned color but not burnt and the coil is clean and free of oil

If you cleaned the atomizer I cant imagine why it would smell funny there is nothing there to retain bad odor strange .

Do you torch your coils? Before wrapping/after wrapping?

I've had a similar issue with some B&M bought kanthal when I didnt torch it before coiling. Tasted kind of funky.

Just a shot in the dark here but the only thing I could think of that may retain some kind of odor is the ceramic base. Is there a possibility that a cleaner or anything may have been adsorbed by the ceramic?

I would try soaking overnight or longer in some everclear or vodka to see if that helps or possibly a good bath in an ultrasonic cleaner if you have access to one

+1 I use everclear on mine and it works great. I have a Strawberry custard that lingers and a good soaking makes it like new again.

This sounds like the wire to me. What type of wire bought where?

 

[Rmcgloth]

Nichrome or kanthal? Some people are more sensitive to their respective tastes. Maybe try Rene 41?

I've always wanted to try Rene41. Where do you get yours and what specs?

No more kanthal for me! Thanks for the link. Been using my current Rene coil for a little over a month now. I got a bunch from the Bee by way of mr mundy. It's a pain to work with but sooo worth it.

Back to the original topic - ever get this resolved?

Inject some vodka into the hole where the juice comes up. I do that every time I want to deep clean my RM2.

Did you take the ceramic deck out as well... Could be that terrible flavor is trapped under the ceramic
